Comment:

Native low-growing vine, groundcover or trailing shrub, usually grown in wet bog conditions. Plant these 2' apart, they are self-pollinating. Red cranberries mature in September-October. Grow in a mixed boarder in front of other acid loving plants like azaelas and rhododendrons that share the same acidic soil requirements.
